ServoMatrix is a MondoMatrix expansion board that can control up to 64 servo motors. Each servo can have positions between 0 and just over 200. One of the most powerful features of ServoMatrix is that you can have up to 8 different kinds of servos controlled by a single board. The reason is that each row of eight servos has an independent power port. All of the power servo ports can be connected to one power source or each row of eight servos can have independent power sources. This allows for independent control of a variety of servos all from one controller. If you were building a robot for example, this would be beneficial as some small servos would use less power and some larger servos would need more power etc. The ServoMatrix board also has its own power source protecting the board from power related events that can damage the controllers.

This would be really nice I however need some help to get this baby running:)
Would it be possible to get this running with a normal Arduino and RS-485 breakout? Or do any one know how to get a displayduino? If it is possible to do it with a normal Arduino do anyone know of any good guides. Hope someone can help. Cheers. Kenneth.
will the displayduino be back in stock at any point to go with this?
So how many servos can be controlled using one PWM output line on the microcontroller? All 64? 8?
8 per line. I use 3 per line to run my hexapod.

This board is designed to communicate over RS485.
